ASK HIM.

1t has been remarked that while
Governor West had a good deal to say
when in Washington, that while he
had himself interviewed by corresron-
dents, and kept the T1ibane's capital
representative informed as to his
doings and utterahces. in order that he
might be duly doomed in Utah, His
Excellency has had little or nothing to
say since his return to this Territory.
He for babe the hurrah reception,
which had been arranged for him and
tried to Keep out of the way of news
paper reporters entirely; he could not
keep his mouth closed all the time, hence
dropped few words which got into
print, but since the evening of his
arrival he has been dumb as an
oyster; he would regard as his worst
enemy the newspaper that would force
him into an interview, or represent him
as alobbyist in the interest of the Loval
League. This sudden change on the part
Of the Governor has been remarked
by all, and many are asking for the ex-
plantation. All The HERALD has to
say at this time, is that Governor West
best knows why he,gathered his grip
sack snd hurried from Washington /;
why he tried t. come back without ex
citing comment or getting himself into
the papers. and why he maintains a
sphinx-like silence as to matters con-
corning which he went to the CAPITAL
and about which he talked so much
while there. People who desire infor-
nation regarding the late peculiar de-
portmentof His EIcellency should apply
to him.

construed into perjury. If man was

laws of the United States generally and

by committing adultery or fornication,
he would be guilty of moral wrong
against himself and against society, but
he would not be, guilty of perjury as

the law when they sent Apostle Snow

the judges guilty of perjury in these

opened UP all parts OF the southern
buffalo country, and in 1879 there arose
n demand for buffalo robes that proved
fatal to the species. Tho war Of exter-
mination began Immediately, and ac-
cording to the statistics that have been
gathered and published by Colonel
Dodge, the years of 1928 and saw the
destruction of over 4,373, ,735 buffalo on
the southern range. Thus was
ons thi' great exstaeGe eSFS in s""shaGCSa a6cat
three years time. The survivors
sought refuge in the dcsolate wastes of
the Staked Plain; but even there the
relentless hunters still pursued them,
when bull robes sold for only Sl.25 each,
and the cows were slaughtered for
skins that were worth the paltry sum of
only 60 cents. This was bad enough,
and entirely too bad, but II | could call
up before you vision of the hundreds
of thousands of butfaloes that were
heartlessly slain for their tongues or
their humps, or for sport (l) alone,y
would sicken at the sight. Never in the
history of the whole animal kingdom
has there been such another bloody and
cruel carnage, or one that yielded so
little in proportion to the total value in
volved.
ably twenty times as large as the south
ern, and covered twenty times as much
territory. 1t is estimated by the buffalo
hunters that there were 500 900 butfaloes
within radius of 100 miles of Miles
City, Mont, alone, and that the north
ern range contained over u million
head.
The Northern Pacific railway was
opened for traffic from Glendive east
ward in 1850, and the buffalo hunters
made an assault in force on the north
ern herd. Buffalo hides were shipped
eastward by the railway and the Mis-
souri, river by tens OF thousands, until
1884, when the work of determination
was complete. In 1SS5not u single fresh
hide was in the market, and in the year
following only two rewarded the in
quiries of the buyers. The buffalo were
gone forever, not only from the United
States, but from the British Possessions
as well. Last year the largest fur house
in Montreal asked from $50 to $40 each
for robes, and some of the leading fur
ricrs of New York had none at all.
Another fact that stares us unplcaS-
antly in the face is that with the exccp-
tion of the wild buffalo in National park,
all of which will eventually either wan
der out or be frighten ed out and killed,
unless the park is inclosed by a barbed
wire fence in time to prevent it, the
national government has not q single
buffalo on any of its reservations, nor
anywhere else in charge of any one in
its employ. In spite of the attention
that is being paid in other quarters to
the development of our animal products,
| no steps whatever have been taken to
preserve bos Americanus from total an
initiation. AT all events, it now seems
reasonably certain that in three years
more there will not be n wild buffalo re-
naming on the Who'll continent of
North America, except in the National
park.

From the Cruise of the March Sea: A
dance had just ceased as we arrived and
we took our seats in placid ignorance of
what was in store for us. Presently the
squeak of the fiddle was heard, and in
stantly the ladies rushed in search of
partners. There was great move in

rest of the party; and, as became Il mod

However, there was no time to
be lost. The seal hunter, the American

hard at it, and slipping my arm around
the waist Of the nearest fair one |
plunged blindly into the dance. The
affair was simple enough at first. The
dance merely consisted in shuffiing
slowly round the room side by side, the
gentleman with his left arm free, the
lady accompanying the music with a
sort of chant. Time was of no particular
object, and smoking was permitted; and
as we had partakcn neither of the cram

being as hard as wood when the muscles
are tense. The pad OF the hand, with
which he breaks stones az easily as a
stonecutter does it with hammer, feels
like iron. On the back of his arm is
big wedge-shaped muscle, rarely found
in any athlete, which adds great
strength. He can raise q 250-pound
dumb-bell above his head and toss it
from hand to hand with ease. His chest
measurement is 46 inches, his biceps are
IS inches around, and his forearm l6
inches. He comes from Munchen, and,
although only twenty-five years old,
has defeated the best wrestlers
of Europe, including Carl Abs, who
wrestled Muldoon to n draw, in the
catch-as-catch-c style. He has never
suffered defeat. Schmidt, who is we'll
known in this country through his
bouts with Ross, Bibby, THE Jap" and
others, and his sword contests with
Duncan Ross, is thirty-six years old,
weighs 100 pounds, and is five inches
taller than Mueller, but of much slighter
and more symmetrical build.
The men went at each other carefully
in the yrst bout, burying their heads in
each others shoulders, and clasping
each other around the neck with one
hand while they SPARED with the other
for back hold. They struggled around
the small stage, saving away at each
others neck, and boring each others
shoulders with their heads like two
bulls. for thirty minutes, when time
was called. The second bout lasted not
more than half a minute. Mueller
rushed Schmidt across the stage, made
quick lunge, and grasping the latter
around the small of the back with his
left hand, lifted him clear of the floor,
and landed him squarely on both shoul-
ders. In the third bout Scmidt turned
the tables almost as quickly, landing
Mueller on his stomach, and whirling
him over on his back.
The fourth bout lasted twenty-siS
minutes, and was desperately contested.
Schmidt was on his hands and knees
three times. but managed by his agility
to escape being turned. Finally Mueller
got SCHMIDT down.
1t was evident that Schmidt will be
no match for the stOnebrcaker when
the latter learns the GrHco-Romau
style, which is new to him. 1t was said
by experts last night that there is no
man in the country who is Mucllers
match.

THE PEABODY LETTER.

The publication few days since OF the
fac-simile of President Peabody's letter IS
still the subject of much comment
1t used to be considered a question of pro-
priety to say kind word of the result of
treatment other than that prescribed by
regular practitioner; and the time was when
man using an advertised remedy did SO
more or less surreptitiously. However, this
has happily given away to broader ana
more liberal view of things, typihed IN Mr:
Peabody's frank expression that he knowso OF
no valid reason why commentator should
not be equally as hearty in one instance as IN
the other.
Certainly this would appear fair in the face
of the facts. He was assured that the injury
would contine him t. the house for three
weeks or more, yet in three days use ofthe Oil
he was out and about his duties as II nothing
had happened. Surely remedy that Will SO
practically demonstrate its efficacy and that
has stood foremost, as has St. Jacobs OH,
upward OF ten years as unapproachabie for
the eradication of pain, is justly entitled to
rank as a standard.
That many physicians prescribe 1t is as
true as that many physicians use it, and 1t IS
only those of the very old school who, true to
ancient doctrines, can see no good in 1t, be-
cause it Is made known to the world. Not
long since one of these dropped a confidential
note to friend requesting three bottles be
sent for his personal use Immediately, as
without it his hands were Simply no hands
at ALL but" continued he, for Heaven
sake don't say said So" This is literally
true.

That OvercOat Episode.

New York Times: II. j. Cullen, of
the law firm of Wingate & Cullen, az
rived home yesterday after "a summer
and fall spent on the continent. At his
residence he told the story of his con-
tlict with eX-Secretary James G. Blaine
on the steps of the Vienna opera house
for the possession of a summer overcoat.
I'VE were both staying at the Imper-
ial hotel, Vienna" Mr.. Cullen said,
"and it happened that we both decided
one warmish evening in September to
visit the opera. We reached the steps
of the opera house at the same time. 1
recognized Mr.. Blaine, as was very
natural, and, as we are not acquainted,
he did uot, of course, recognize me. The
evening being little warm, had en-
gagged valet de place to carry my
overcoat, and when [ reached the opera
house, l badc him toss it to me.
caught it on the fly, and at the same
moment became aware of the fact that
Mr.. Blaine's eye was fixed upon me,
and that it was an eye OF suspicion. 1t
glanced uneasily from myself to the
coat and finally settled, blazing with in
dignatiOn. upon the coat. 1T at once
flashed upon me that he thought my
overcoat was his overcoat, and this be-
lief was confirmed when | saw that
with the balance of the Blaine party,
which was some five steps in advance of
us, was another valet de place carrying
an overcoat, about Identical with mine,
which was of light-colored material
with gray silk lining. The situation
was so amusing that determined to let
it work itself out. 1t did SO in this way.
Mr.. Blaine's indignation at the sup
posed seizure of his garment kept grow
ing every moment. He said nothing,
but began staring at me and the coat in
way that, if | had not known what
was up, would have been quite
embarrassing. Finally his impetuos-
sity overcame his reluctance to take de-
cided action, and, still preserving 81
lence, he grabbed for the coat. | said
nothing, but kept possession of the gar
ment. Mr.. Blaine then began to make
very lively effort to deprive me of my
| property, and the scene was reaching a
| climax when one of his daughters trip
| ped down the stairs and, at once divin-
| ing what had happened, said: Papa,
! that is not your overcoat. The valet
| has yours. See, here it is The last
remark was uttered as the young lady
caught Mr.. Blaine's overcoat from the
arm of the valet and handed. it to her
father.

thing, think. never saw a man sc
bewildered in my life. Perhaps le

not have understood an apology couched
in the English language"
